title: [Detection of free histamine and serotonin in the evaluation of the vital reaction in injuries].
abstract: Skin injury alive produces quick and distinct increase of free histamine and serotonin. A fluorimetric method for detection of these compounds in tissues has been the only one described in the literature up to now but it needed a time consuming extraction and big amount of primary material (about 3 g of skin devoid of subcutaneous fat tissue) as well. The authors succeeded in substituting the method and developed a voltametric detection of histamine and serotonin using the computerized ECO-TRIBO-Polarograph. It enabled to omit the extraction of skin compounds and to decreased the amount of primary tissue to a quarter. The detection of free histamine and serotonin levels is presumed to enable a more accurate determination of the time of injury, particulary in short interval before death; it presents, with a simultaneous of glycophorin, a convenient complementation of immunohistochemical investigation of fibronectin.
